"Asia and Africa .. Diamond Princess will already be in Asia doing voyages marketed to the Asian market for the May to October 2014 period. These are already open. The first new voyage opening May 28 is a 21 day voyage from Singapore to Sydney on October 28, 2014. About half Asia, half Oz. She returns on a similar 19 day journey from Sydney to Singapore Mar 27, 2015. She will have Southeast Asia and Japan itineraries of either 7 or 14 days through April, 2015.

Ocean Princess is the second ship on Asia duties in more of a drive by type scenario. She will sail a super long 82 day voyage from Sydney, Australia to Dover, UK on March 14, 2015. This is similar to her 2013 voyages. The sections or separate cruises that can be combined in many ways would be 20 days Sydney to Singapore March 14, 32 days Singapore to Cape Town April 3, and 30 days Cape Town to Dover May 5, 2015. These will likely sell out quickly, so these would be voyages you want to book on opening day.

Sapphire Princess ALSO has Asian voyages already open starting November 27, 2014 marketed to the Asian market. The first new voyages opening May 28 are 17 day Asia &am p; Africa trips between Beijing and Bangkok October 7 and 24 and November 10. What I find interesting is there are no voyages announced OR open on Sapphire from the end of May to this October 7 trip. SOMETIME they are going to have to tell us what she is doing. Obviously she is sailing across the Pacific in some way.

Sun Princess sails from Sydney to Singapore 14 days on April 1, 2015. She does two 5 day voyages and then her announced schedule ends in Kobe, Japan April 25.

South America .. Princess will send JUST Golden Princess down to South America from Los Angeles December 3, 2014. She does the typical Andes 17 day on that December date, then 14 day trips back and forth around the Horn through February 28, and then returns to LA March 14, 2015. The usual Machu Picchu and Iguazu Falls cruisetours can be combined with these. I do strongly suggest that if you are going that far you do the cruisetour and not JUST the cruise.

South Pacific .. Princess is sending both s mall ships to the South Pacific. Pacific Princess will sail from Vancouver, Canada September 16, 2014 12 days to Hawaii followed by 11 days Hawaii and Tahiti. Then Pacific will stay in Tahiti for 10 night voyages that are either Tahiti & Polynesia or Marquesas & Polynesia all through early January, 2015. On January 7, 2015 she will sail a one off 16 night voyage from Tahiti, through Hawaii, to Los Angeles.

Ocean Princess will set off for Tahiti from Fort Lauderdale on January 2, 2015 for a 25 day cruise through the Panama Canal and Easter Island. She will have just a couple of 10 day Polynesia voyages on January 27 and February 6 before setting off to the land of Oz February 26, 15 days Papeete to Sydney.

Australia & New Zealand ? Diamond Princess will have an Around Australia 28 day voyage November 18, 2014 as her first Sydney trip, and then settle into the standard 12 night Sydney to Auckland voyages for January and February, 2015. She will again sail Around Australia on February 27, 2015 before heading to Asia as already mentioned above.

The Aussie Experience ships with Australian dollars onboard and fixed time dining only will again have different Australian home ports. Sea Princess will sail mostly 14 night New Zealand voyages from Brisbane. She mixes in a few 11 night Fiji cruises from Brisbane as well.

Dawn Princess will have one Fiji & South Pacific voyage from Sydney round trip September 20, 2014 for 14 days, then a 3 day repositioning to Melbourne October 4. Following that, SHE will sail mostly 13 day voyages round trip Melbourne to New Zealand. She has a couple little 5 day voyages mixed in if you want something short. Melbourne to Perth on March 22, 2015 might interest some of you.

Sun Princess will remain homeported in Sydney and do a wide combination of New Zealand, Tasmania, and Fiji voyages from October, 2014 through March, 2015 before heading to Asia.

World Cruises .. Pacific Princess will sail Princess Cruises first e ver World Cruise round trip from Los Angeles on January 23, 2015 for 111 days. You can also do a full world option ending in Fort Lauderdale for 94 days and a Panama Canal cruise of 17 nights from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles on April 26, 2015. The World voyage will begin with Hawaii, Tahiti and the South Pacific. Australia and Asia are next, followed by the Mediterranean and then Bermuda. For a listing of ports, just give me a ring!

Dawn Princess with the Aussie Experience onboard will have a full World Cruise in May, 2014 for 104 days round trip Sydney. This voyage is already open and can be booked in many interesting segments as well. If you would like more details, just ask or look on the Princess Cruises Website.
